An augmented reality travel guide in your pocket
Nice headline don’t you think? 
Well, there’s been quite a lot of buzz around the Dutch mobile startup Layar. We do also think that it is really cool and thus we created our own layer for people to use. If you haven’t seen a demo of Layar check out this video (or better yet, download our layer to your phone 
). It is an “augmented reality” application enabling you to view content from various web services layered over the camera view of your phone. Thus you could just point your phone e.g. to a sight and read if people have liked it or not. We think it’s really cool!
If you have an iPhone or an Android phone you can download Layar to your phone and choose to use our layer (obviously named TripSay). It simply allows you to browse all our data with your phone as you walk the streets of any city. Just point your phone’s camera to any direction and see what places there are close by and what people say about them. Create a profile in TripSay, log in with your Layar and you’ll see places around you that are recommended to you by others sharing your taste.
This starts to be the kind of mobile travel application we’ve been wanting to create for a long time! Thanks to Layar it was quick to do too! Give it a try and let us know what you think about it!
